Last week my uncle's dog tried to jump a fence but my uncle called her name at the wrong time. Result? She stuttered on her jump and impaled herself on the fence (ouch) and is now sporting a nasty set of stitches in her groin.
Guess the moral in that story is that if your dog is gonna jump a fence, don't distract it.
Fantastic pictures!!! My maisie wouldnt hesitate at that one either - in fact she seeks out fences as I think she assumes its her god given right to jump anything she can find!
Murphy on the other hand would stand on the other side greeting his face off coz he couldnt work out how to get through....(Ive seen myself having to lift all 28kg of him over stiles ...... not the sharpest bulb in the box... ) LOL
I love your photos of Otis & the gang - keep em coming!

Ouch! Poor dog, I hope she is ok.
It's not something I encourage with Otis, he is made to wait while Scout and I go through stiles first to see if there is anyone else about (walks involving Betty don't involve stiles full stop and I avoid walking the delinquent boys as a pair anyway ) He sometimes sits down and ponders life, the universe and bunnies but was whinging about joining me....I'd far rather he didn't jump or climb obstacles, as I have seen him disappear over a six foot panel fence a couple of times in the early days with us and I would rather he didn't start doing that again
